I took a different approach with this one, I loved that it had two drop leaves on the sides. Very versatile, for almost all your side table needs.
Before
I sanded the tops down to bare wood and put a dark walnut stain on it.
After
I really wanted to do a color, so I went up to Lowe's and chose a cool turquoise called Woodlawn Valley Haze by Valspar. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but close enough. I ended up adding a touch of black to it to calm it down.
I hope you all have a fantastic holiday weekend!

I JUST bought a table almost exactly like this. Still pondering what I want to do with it. I like the idea that you made the top different. Hmmmmmm... decisions, decisions!! :-) It turned out beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the 2 toned look. The color is so nice, and it really pops with the dark top. I'm also a huge fan of distressing! Great job!

I happened upon your blog today from House of Turquoise and I have to tell you that I am SO excited to see this drop side end table idea. I have two of these that were handed down to me and I have been so nervous to paint them like I wanted to until now! Thanks for sharing this idea. Out of curiosity, how much did you sell it for?
